An interventional study of Training about Aphasia in Aphasia, sponsored by University of Wisconsin, Madison. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-11.
Sponsored by University of Wisconsin, Madison · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
This study aims to determine the impact of a collaborative approach to training law enforcement officers and first responders about aphasia including their knowledge and confidence in communicating with individuals with aphasia that they may encounter in the field. 75 participants employed as a first responder or law enforcement officer or affiliated personnel in the state of Wisconsin will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 6 months.
The investigators will partner with Wisconsin agencies to provide training and programming to law enforcement officers and first responders. Training will include direct teaching, aphasia simulations, scenario-based training and a panel with persons with aphasia with the goal of increasing confidence for law enforcement officers and first responders providing services to and communicating with persons with aphasia. This study may include an online module for training with the same content as in-person training to increase access to employees across shifts and geographic areas of Wisconsin.
Participants will take 3 surveys over 6 months.
338 studies on the registry are indexed under Aphasia; 95 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 75 is above the median of 30 across 298 interventional studies indexed under Aphasia.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Other: Training about Aphasia
Training will include direct teaching, aphasia simulations, scenario-based training and a panel with persons with aphasia with the goal of increasing confidence for law enforcement officers and first responders providing services to and communicating with persons with aphasia.
First Responder Aphasia Training Score
Two items scored from 1 (very confident) to 4 (not confident) where lower scores indicate increased confidence in communication with a person with Aphasia.
Time frame: pre-test (baseline), post-test (after 1 day of training)
First Responder Aphasia Training Score
Two items scored from 1 (never), 2 (a few times), 3 (regularly), 4 (I'm not sure) about whether they have interacted with a person with Aphasia in their professional and personal lives.
Time frame: pre-test (baseline), 3 to 6 month follow-up
First Responder Strategies for Aphasia
First responders are to list 10 strategies for competence, understanding, and expression in communicating with a person with Aphasia. Count of correct strategies will be reported.
Time frame: pre-test (baseline), post-test (after 1 day of training), 3 to 6 month follow-up
First Responder Confidence in Communication Score
Scored from 1 (very uncomfortable) to 5 (very comfortable), with higher scores indicating higher confidence.
Time frame: pre-test (baseline), post-test (after 1 day of training), 3 to 6 month follow-up

Started Nov 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2027, 31 months after the start.
Of 183 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Aphasia, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19 and three quarters within 57. This study's planned 31 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 185 studies reached it within 36 months; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 57.
